THE RAILROA.D.
Just now the all absorbing ques-
tion with the people of Weather-
ford and Parker county, is the ex-
tention of the Railroad from Ft.
Worth, westward to the former
place* The newspapers are full of
it, and the people scarcely,talk of
■anything else. Impatient at the
delay of the managers of the T. &
P. in extending the road, who
seem to be,awaiting the action of
Congress upon the proposition of
National assistance, the citizens of
Parker county have [organized
what, they call a ‘•Railroad Con-
struction Association,” having for
its object the grading of the road
ready for ties and iron, from Ft.
Worth to Weatherford. This
done the Company arc bound for
the completion oiMhe r^ad, by the
aying, el the ties and iron at once.
To construct the bed of the road
from,Ft. worth, would seem to be
a huge undertaking, on the part of- -*Q[$\er died, and was buried y
the people of Pa*^ bit
the aid required to complete the
Texas & Pacific is asking but little
at the hands of the government.
Fatal slaOotiiag;
Tuesday night last about 10
o’clock a couple of shots were fired
near Hoefiie’s old store, on the
creek. Marshal Johnson was
near the place at the time, and
in company with Tom Cooley
proceeded to investigate the
matter. They arrested and
searched a raan for arms but
finding none, released him.
Presently two colored soldiers,
Howard and Drayton, came up
the road and where halted by the
Marshal, who told them to throw,
up their hands and consider
themselves under arrest, and in-
structed Cooley to search them for
arms.
The men raised their right
hands but not the left, when
crderd to|do>o. Cooley found a
six-shooter on one of the men, and
"bile he was taking it from
him, .he other man attempted to
draw or raise his six-shooter with
bis left hand. Johnson told bin
to throw up his hands or he would
shoot. The soldier not obeyifg
the command, the Marshal dp
shoot with fatal effect, the ball
entering the left side, aad

v people of Tar ran; county is d(ie
the budding of the road from Dal-
las toFc. IF?i'll),a greater distance
than from Ft, Worth to Weather-
ford, hence, we can see no good
reason why the road cannot be
built from Ft. Worth to Weather-
ford, upon the same principle.
Then too, the people of Parker
county are being assisted by Dallas,
whose merchants and others will
furnish say $100,000, which sutrq
if necessary will probably be in-
creased. The people of Parker are
calling upon oui own
citizens to assist them
in the project of building the
road to Weatherford. We are
‘decidedly fa vorable to Railroads
;as well as improvements of every
character that tend to build up
the country,and promote the mutu-
al interests of the people, and pre-
sume that such is the sentimeut of
the people of Palo Pinto county,
but it can hardly be expected qf
our citizens to rehder any very
material eid to this project. It is
entirely too remote we think. The
Star wants Weatherford to have
the road, and enjoy it, but cannot
see that our citizens would4 be' so
benefited thereby as to repay them
Tor any material aid in building it.
Upon the question of this T. & P.
E. R., the Star is its advocate,
and believes that the general gov-
ernment should complete it, and at
once, This should be done as a
matter of right and justice to the
people of the Southern States For
years the people of the Northern
States have enjoyed internal im-
provements constructed at the ex-
pense of the general government,
the most conspicuous of wh ich is the
terdav with military honors.
